Description

According to comment #9619, django doesn't touch the raw data coming from the database. Postgresql returns the datetimes offset to local time as timezone aware to the local offset. However, in contrast to #9619, django gives the datetimes a UTC timezone, and offsets them back to UTC time.

The comments in this tracker aren't normative. Specifically the comments on #9619 predate the timezone support that was introduced in Django 1.4.

You're seeing the expected behavior when settings.USE_TZ = True. Django doesn't offset back to UTC, it gets the values directly in UTC.

Please reopen if you think that Django's behavior is wrong or inconsistent with the documentation.
